Things I'd Quite Like For My Birthday

I'm a materialistic person. I don't shy away from this. You can make me happy with words, but a tangible thing is much much better. My love language is mostly gift giving. I love sending gifts. But I gotta get something in return, you know?
Since my birthday's coming up, I decided to make an extensive list of things I'd love for my birthday! And here it is! 
I've also made a tiny list at the bottom of the top things on this massive list!

Books

Books are the best gift. (Next to copies of Noragami's manga. DUDEEE.) But the best gifts in book form are the following. 

ARC

This is the only ARC I want right now. So...I'd really really like it! 

Preorder

Book Swag

I'm a huge fan of book swag. Especially prints. Those things are gorgeous. I have a Vicious iPhone case from Evie Seo, and I treasure it. A lot. But I'd always love more! 

(And I always need new black hoodies. So.)

Evie Seo Stuff

I'm a medium, by the way. 

Custom Victor Vale Funko from this Etsy shop

Gift Cards

By far the easiest gift is the gift card. And I'm quite easy to please with this. So.

• Barnes and Noble gift card
• Books-a-million gift card
• Schlotzskys's gift card

Author Visits

I know you might not be an author. But you're magical, right? You can totally make these authors appear in my city right now. Right? 

• Victoria Schwab
• Maggie Stiefvater
• Sarah J Maas
• Heidi Heilig
• Jay Kristoff and Amie Kaufman

Blogging Stuff

But I do want some blogging stuff. Haha. 

• ALA tickets
• Permission to go to ALA (This is mostly to my mother.)

Stationary

Because I bullet journal, I do need some stationary. I also lose my pens a lot. And I love using sticky notes for different reasons. As a student, I need stationary a lot. And these things are pretty cheap! Just toss them into the gift bag and you're set.

• Post it notes (any color or shape or size works)
• Leuchtturm 1917 notebook (A5, dots or graph paper)
• Pens (Office Depot specifically)
• Pencilmate mechanical pencils
• Highlighters (of any and all colors)

Otome Games

I don't hide my interest in otome games. Not at all. I really want to try these out! Maybe you want it too. ;)

• Hustle Cat
• Prank Master

Magazines

I don't typically read magazines, but I really am interested in this one! 

• OtakuUSA

Food

Okay...candy kits aren't technically food. But still! 

PS: I also have a list of snacks you can get me! Click here!

• Japanese candy kits (Any type works!)

Monthly Boxes

Recently, I looked into monthly boxes. So I really really want one now! It can just be a one-time subscription. I just want a taste!

• Snakku (The tasting box is just fine for me.)
• Tokyo Treat (Small works!)
• LootCrate Anime
• Akibento

Also, if you find a good anime box, tell me. Omakase discontinued...and it was the only one I wanted to try. (Other than maybe the anime LootCrate...)
PS: I did add LootCrate Anime and Akibento in the end. Haha. (I did some research after originally making this post.)

Top Items

• This Savage Song ARC
• Japanese candy kits
• Snakku
• Leuchtturm 1917 notebook

I hope you don't think negatively of me because of this. Some friends wanted to know what I wanted for my birthday. And instead of repeating it over and over, I made this!

If I Don't Have These, I Can't Live

There are so many things I want. For birthdays or for Christmas. I made a wishlist around 2015 Christmas for stuff I want. A lot of random stuff on there, though. Haha.

So. The following list is stuff you should buy me for my birthday. Hint hint. And I'll make a more definite NEED list near my birthday.

But these are just the bookish things. Haha.

Evie Seo Vicious iPhone Case: https://society6.com/product/vicious-by-veschwab-we-could-be-heroes_iphone-case#9=375&52=377 (This only works if I switch onto the iPhone I got.)

Evie Seo Six of Crows hoodie: https://society6.com/product/six-of-crows-monster-white_hoody#7=107&19=145&8=37 (Because I need a new hoodie. Always.)

ALA tickets: http://2016.alaannual.org/rates (Sadly...my mom might not let me go. She is reluctant because she doesn't know who I'd stay with or plane stuff.)

This Savage Song ARC (Because I am a Schwab fan for life. Also, I founded VElites.)

Crooked Kingdom preorder (Because I like planning ahead. Also, SIX OF CROWS IS AMAZING.)

The Raven King preorder (I actually want one of the signed ones. With the book plate? Yeah, that.)

What would you like for Easter/your birthday/Christmas? 
(Because I'm totally preparing a gift. Wink wink)

I'm That Weirdo Who Makes a Lot of Events: Things to Look Out For in 2016

So it's the beginning of January, and I'm here to introduce you to some cool events I have planned for 2016. I might add more because I adore events, hosting or participating. And if you have any events planned, please contact me over email or on Twitter. I'd love to participate.

And here we go.

I have TWO events for June. It's going to be a cool month. Trust me.

June: BiblioSummerSwag

This is a gift exchange, much like Secret Santa in December. But in June. I thought it'd be a great 'congrats on getting through the month' sort of thing. 

This will be international and for all ages. Please get parental permission if you're under thirteen, though. I don't want anything bad happening to you younger kids. Don't corrupt your innocence. 

You don't need to be a blogger or anything. Just talk about books in some way. It can be that you Tweet about books or you have a booktube. I don't want someone to be in a trade with someone they can't find gifts for because the other person doesn't like books! 

The sign up for this will come out mid-March. I'm not sure of the exact date.

For this, I need one or two hosts. I don't know if I can do this alone. Again, I'll still go through this if there aren't any other hosts. But if there aren't at least some people, I can't do this event. So tell your friends and followers! If you're interested in being a host, email me with the subject: BloggerSummerSwag: Host. My email is wrenthereader@gmail.com
And if you want to get on the newsletter, here you go! 

June: Japanese June

I can't wait for this! This is going to be so exciting. It's a three week long event with nine posts that will skim the waters of manga and anime.

Sadly, I don't need any hosts for this. This is a personal project. 

I'll be talking about the basics of anime and manga and some Japanese culture and some Otaku culture. Can't wait for this!

July: InterBlogCon

InterBlogCon is happening! Woot woot! I’m getting some excitement for this, and that is definitely great.

InterBlogCon stands for International Blogger Convention. It’s an online convention happening in July. I hope that people will get together and meet each other and learn things. (Book or blogger wise.)

I’m not quite sure of all the logistics yet, but there will be classes and giveaways and chats. And two contests. (Cosplay and fan art.) So stay with me.

If you’d like to be a moderator (who watches over the chats) or a host (who runs the event with me) or a teacher (of a session/class/breakout-session/whatever-you-call-it-it-has-no-official-name-yet), please email me with the subject: InterBlogCon: I’d Like to Help. My email is wrenthereader@gmail.com

If you’d like to subscribe for information on InterBlogCon, here’s the link.
